Data controller

The data controller is Mathis Wdowiak, sole trader (trading as “Absyt”), 61 rue de Lyon, 75012 Paris, France · contact@absyt.com.

The absyt.com website

absyt.com is a showcase site. It uses no tracking cookies, no analytics tool (such as Google Analytics) and no advertising tracker. No account is required and there is no collection form: the only way to send us information is to write to us by email, of your own accord.

Like any web server, the host may keep technical logs (IP address, date and time of connection) for security and reliability. Those logs are managed by the host and are not used by Absyt for commercial purposes.

The SixKit app

SixKit is a macOS app that runs entirely locally, inside Apple's sandbox. Your content (notes, tasks, files, text captures, QR codes) stays on your Mac and is never sent to Absyt or to any third party. The app contains no networking code at all: it is technically unable to make a request.

No account is needed to use SixKit.

No personal data is collected or sent to our servers.

No tracking for advertising or behavioural purposes takes place.

SixKit generates an anonymous installation identifier (“InstanceID”), stored locally. It is a random UUID, unconnected to you or to your hardware. It is shown in the “About” panel so you can quote it when reporting a bug; it is never transmitted automatically.

Encryption at rest. Your notes, your tasks and your capture history are encrypted on disk (AES-GCM). The key is generated on your Mac and kept in your keychain, accessible to this app alone.

Calque keeps the recognised text of the last 30 captures. The captured images themselves are never written to disk: they are analysed in memory, then destroyed.

QR Code keeps the last 10 generated codes.

La Boite neither copies nor moves your files. The app keeps only a secure reference so you can pull them back out; emptying La Boite deletes the references, never the files.

Presentation copies into its own folder the background image you import, if you choose one.

Erase everything. The app menu lets you clear the Calque history, the notes, the tasks and La Boite, separately or all at once.

System permission. SixKit asks for a single permission: screen recording, which Calque needs in order to read the area you select. The app does not request Accessibility, microphone, camera, contacts, calendar, photos or location access. You can refuse or revoke it at any time from System Settings › Privacy & Security: only Calque then stops working, the other five tools are untouched.

Purchases and the App Store

SixKit is distributed through the Apple App Store. The purchase is handled directly by Apple, which acts as the seller and processes the payment. Absyt receives neither your bank details nor your payment data, and has access to no information about your Apple Account. The handling of that information falls under Apple's privacy policy.

Purposes and legal basis

As no personal data is actively collected, no processing takes place for commercial, statistical or advertising purposes. The only data that may be processed (emails you send us, the host's technical logs) is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering your requests and keeping the service secure.

Retention period

The emails you send us are kept for as long as it takes to handle your request, then archived or deleted. The host's technical logs are kept in line with its own retention periods.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French “Informatique et Libertés” act, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability regarding your data.

To exercise these rights, write to us at contact@absyt.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr).

Changes

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the service or in the law. The date of the last update appears at the top of this page.
